Staying positive minded in a potentially depressive situation

Some days it's hard, and some days it's really hard. It doesn't get easy, anybody that tells you that is liar. Having a special needs child is like having twins, double the work, double the trouble 😊, double the attention, double the care, double the expenses, double the everything. Family may support, friends may support, but at a certain point in the day you are left all alone with your child and you have to deal.

The devil is always lurking,oh yeh he's always watching from the background, waiting to see if you'll lose your patience, if you'll cry or give up, God is always there too watching for the same things, but His mission is to help; To encourage you, to console you, to catch your tears.

If you think you will be satisfied with support from family and friends, I'm here to burst your bubble, they will support to some extent but they won't always be there and they certainly won't understand what you're going through the way Jesus does. I know in my heart it won't be easy, but everyday I wake up I push myself to be better, I push myself to be positive, it's all you can do really. If you make yourself depressed things are going to be even harder for you. When you are sad and thinking, the baby feels it, they really do and it runs off on them.

Wake up with a positive mind all the time and although you didn't have enough sleep the night before, wake up with fresh hope. The one that smells like sea breeze, yes that one. Let that sea breeze of hope gush on your face every morning. You will have more times of crying buckets of tears, but let that be temporary. You are the controller of your emotions so control them and be positive, be happy, and be care free. And most of all, be the best you can be for your child.
